The building of dunes and sand drifts along the European coastline are generally related to climatic variability and sea-level fluctuation. The last phase of dunes formation in south-western Europe coincides with the Little Ice Age (LIA) period characte- rized by pronounced climate variability. Historical sources retrieved from archives also report sand-drift events along the Portuguese coast. The sand invaded ...

This article presents a summary of the final results of two projects funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) in the field of fluvial dynamics, specifically, the floods of the greatest Portuguese rivers and the results of which are scattered in chapters of books, articles, abstracts, conferences or have never been disclosed as a whole: IDAFRE (An Interdisciplinary Approach to Flood Risk Evaluat...
The Western coast of the Iberian Peninsula stands as an interface between both the Atlantic and Mediterranean climatic influences and marine / fluvial conditions. The paper aims to assess the environmental changes in the last ca 6000 years (both natural and anthropogenic induced) using multiproxy analysis (geomorphological and sedimentological data, elemental and stable isotope content, microfossil assemblages,...
O estuário da Ribeira de Bensafrim, no Barlavento algarvio, foi um dos sistemas flúviomarinhos utilizado para avaliar a evolução de ambientes costeiros ao longo dos últimos 5000 anos. Datou-se pelo radiocarbono a matéria orgânica sedimentar presente nos testemunhos verticais colhidos neste estuário. Tendo em conta o registo estratigráfico associado aos dados cronológicos obtidos, foi utilizada uma abordagem est...

No dia 25 de abril de 2018, Catarina Ramos deixou-nos. Referi-me a ela como uma geógrafa eclética e integradora porque todo o seu percurso académico foi marcado pela incorporação de saberes e pela aproximação de colegas e amigos. A Geografia ficou mais pobre e a comunidade académica também. Relembrar a Catarina Ramos implica recuar ao ano letivo de 1976-77, em que, após um serviço cívico na área da Medicina, in...
